I really like Linux, but it's incredibly fragmented. The fragmentation can be seen as part of the allure of Linux (make it your own, use whatever you want, may the best software win, etc).

As I've gained experience (and maybe some wisdom), I've come to find the fragmentation a huge turn off. I've grown more and more fond of the BSD world. You install an operating system. You can learn the system and it doesn't change (much). It feels like you can accrue knowledge that doesn't become irrelevant every six months.
